The players will join as soon as they finish their commitments in their local leagues, with Montader Madjed, who plays for Hammarby IF in Sweden, playing his last match in the Swedish league this evening before heading directly to Iraq to join the training camp.
As for Marco Faraj, who plays in the Norwegian league, he too played his last match with his club, after which he will depart for Basra.
The participation of the players comes at an opportune time, especially since the coaching staff led by Graham Arnold relies on fresh blood and diverse options in both defensive and offensive aspects, as part of the preparation plan for the crucial matches against South Korea on June 5 at the Basra International Stadium, followed by that against Jordan on the 10th of the same month in the capital, Amman.
